Part One: Intertwined Time and Space Chapter One: Daily Life
Section 6 Roommates
"I'm so tired." I opened the door to my apartment, put the key on the shoe cabinet, kicked my shoes off, and swayed towards my room.
I'm really tired today. It's just my first day at work this week. Is it because I usually lack exercise? However, today was really stressful. I had to change a report several times in the afternoon and the accountant was still not satisfied with it. I ran around correcting it, and after finally finishing it, I ran errands to various offices to deliver it. To be honest, I’m really not good at writing material.
Yueqing walked to her room and didn't want to cook. As soon as he took off his coat, he lay down on the bed. Anyway, Wang Bo said that he was a little fat, so he just thought he had lost weight. Wang Bo didn't want to care about him anymore. What do you mean by not calling for so long? It seems that he doesn't like me very much.
Is it because I am not as sentimental as other women? I was thinking before that Wang Bo wasn't romantic enough, but wouldn't he be the same way and make demands of others? Maybe in some aspects, the two of us are really a match. But don’t they say that boys generally have to take the initiative?
Hey, you can’t think too much. Yue Qing closed her eyes, feeling a little drowsy, the light was a bit dazzling, she didn't want to get up, she would turn it off later, and listen for a while.
"Click..., bang..." Yue Qing said for a while, but fell asleep soon after. She was awakened by the sound of opening and closing the door.
"Sister Yueqing, you are at home!" I heard my roommate Huang Yan's voice, and then I saw Huang Yan and Mi Xiaoyue appearing at the door of my room. "Already sleeping." Huang Yan continued. Mi Xiaoyue stood behind her and smiled.
"Oh, squint for a while. The workload today is a bit heavy, so I may be a little tired." I quickly sat up and looked at the time. I saw that I had slept for almost half an hour. "When did you come back? I didn't see you coming when I left in the morning. Didn't you bring your luggage? You won't bring it to your company, right?" I sat up and said with a smile.
"I just brought a small bag with me. We went directly to the company and put some things in when we came back at noon."
"I'll be back at noon." Huang Yan and Mi Xiaoyue said almost at the same time, but Mi Xiaoyue seemed more introverted and talked less. When she was with the two of them, Huang Yan did most of the talking, while Mi Xiaoyue laugh. Fortunately, Mi Xiaoyue still loves to smile and can make others feel her kindness.
Both of them are a little younger than me, and they both work in the same advertising design company. When they were looking for a house, the two of them felt that the rent was a bit high. I happened to be looking for a house too, so I asked about this family. When the landlord told me about the situation, the three of us rented together. When choosing a room, Mi Xiaoyue chose a smaller study room, and the rent was cheaper. My room and Huang Yan's room were the same size, but Huang Yan didn't like people passing by her room often and didn't want the balcony. I don't care about the room. So I asked her to choose another room first, and I stayed in the remaining room.
The conditions of Mi Xiaoyue's family are not as good as Huang Yan's family, but the relationship between the two is very good. I heard from them that they still went to high school in the same school. It was a relationship between classmates. Later, we studied advertising design, then we worked in the same company together, and then we rented a house together. This relationship was not a good one.
Both of them have pretty good personalities, and their personalities seem to be okay so far. I still like them better. On the other hand, I am older, so I feel like they are two younger sisters. So generally in terms of household expenses, I pay a little more. For example, water and electricity bills, daily vegetables, meat, eggs, etc. Of course, the two of them prefer to get along like this. They usually call each other "Sister Yueqing" and "Sister Yueqing", which sounds sweet to them. Yue Qing is quite comfortable with this kind of relationship.
"Sister Yueqing, have you eaten? We are going to make some noodles. Do you want to eat?" Huang Yan said and walked towards the kitchen.
"You can eat or not, I'm not too hungry. If you want to do that, I'll just eat a little." I replied with a smile.
Watching the two little girls go to the kitchen, I quickly got up and changed into home clothes, and then went to the kitchen to help.
"Xiaoyue, how is your mother?" I asked Mi Xiaoyue.
Her mother said she was sick. She seemed to have something wrong with her stomach and had been unable to eat recently. Her mother also had a hard time giving birth to 3 children. The eldest child died in infancy, which made the mother very sad. Then she had her, and because she was a girl, her mother-in-law had old ideas and didn’t like her very much, so she had another child, and the result was still a child. girl. My mother-in-law didn't care, because the family was farming, and my husband was very tired from regular work. He didn't do a good job during the two confinements. In addition, he was tired from working, and his health was not good. Women in rural areas tend to age faster than women in cities. Her mother often got sick at a young age. This time she heard that she had severe stomach pain.
"Much better. I'm taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor." Mi Xiaoyue replied.
"You don't have to worry about your mother much now. That's when your sister needs to worry about."
"Um."
"How is the partner your mother found for you? I went back to see if it was possible this time, but I think you are pretty good. There is no need to get married so early."
"When I went back this time, we met for a while and didn't say a few words." Mi Xiaoyue said.
I smiled, thinking about Mi Xiaoyue's character, and then said, "No, that boy doesn't like to talk much either."
Mi Xiaoyue smiled and said nothing.
"Then how can we talk if both of them don't talk? They can just do whatever their parents say." Huang Yan received it.
"Hurry up and make your meal." Mi Xiaoyue said to Huang Yan.
"Then I'll cook and you wash the dishes. You make me cook every time." Huang Yan complained.
"I didn't see you washing dishes when I was cooking." Mi Xiaoyue replied.
Mi Xiaoyue felt like she talked more only when she was with Huang Yan. I smiled as they quarreled. Mi Xiaoyue's partner's family is also farming, but I heard that the family has more land, and the man's family has a harvester, and the boy can drive it. Mi Xiaoyue's father likes this about the other person, and subjectively agrees with it. There was a marriage proposal, but Mi Xiaoyue seemed reluctant.
Huang Yan doesn't have a boyfriend of her own. I heard they had a relationship before but they broke up. This little girl is more assertive about her own affairs. Compared with Xiaoyue, her living environment is much better. Her family is in good condition. She also has an older brother who fights more than she does. She is usually pampered by her family. It can be said that I have never lacked anything since I was a child. I heard her say that she didn't go to school well when she was a child, so she didn't get into a good university. Later, she and Mi Xiaoyue happened to go to the same school to study technology. The two of them are often together.
"What noodles are you planning to make?" I asked Huang Yan.
"I see there are also Coprinus comatus. Just stir-fry a little, add a little meat, and make the next noodle." Huang Yan said casually.
"Okay, I'll help you wash the Coprinus comatus." Yue Qing said as she walked to the refrigerator to get the vegetables.

At Chen Yuan's house, Wang Yan is also cooking for her husband and children. Wang Yan does not have a job, but she runs a copy shop and usually works until very late. Today, Chen Yuan came back late because she worked overtime at work, so she came back early to cook for her children.
Wang Yan’s child is a little girl who is now in primary school. Now that her child has just started school, she is afraid that her child will not be able to find a place to go home, so she goes home early. The family relationship between her and Chen Yuan is not very good. In fact, the main reason is that Chen Yuan's mother has some objections to Wang Yan giving birth to a little girl, and she gives Wang Yan a lot of looks every time she comes home. Fortunately, Chen Yuan didn't think so. To him, boys and girls were the same. He can understand that Wang Yan is usually tired from taking care of children, so he often shares the housework at home, such as cooking. As long as he can get off work on time, he will take the initiative to do it. Whenever Wang Yan quarrels with her mother, she will do it. Most of them are still on Wang Yan's side, but they don't spend as much time with their children as Wang Yan.
Wang Yan was cooking. When she heard the sound of opening and closing the door, she knew that Chen Yuan was back.
"Dad." The daughter rushed from the pile of toys on the balcony to the door and hugged her father's leg. "Dad, I miss you. Do you miss me?"
"Oh, my baby, I miss you so much." Chen Yuan is always the image of a good father in front of his daughter, and he has never been anxious in front of his daughter.
"Why did you come back?" Wang Yan said a little dissatisfied.
"There's something going on at the company, so I'm a little late working overtime." Chen Yuan wasn't angry. He thought it was normal for a couple to have a quarrel.
"If you ask me, just switch to your original company. I've asked you to go back so many times. Your company has never worked overtime as often as you do." Wang Yan then complained.
"Oh, my baby, kiss me daddy." Chen Yuan didn't answer and hugged his daughter to play on the sofa.
"Hey, where am I talking to you? I told you to stop playing and come over and wash your hands and eat." Wang Yan had no choice but to stop talking.
"Okay, it's time to eat, honey. Look, the rice cooked by mom is so delicious. There are sausages that the baby likes." Chen Yuan came over with his daughter in his arms.
"Wow, that's great." Youyou said happily.
"Wash your hands first." Wang Yan shouted.
Chen Yuan immediately took his daughter to wash her hands.
. . . . .
"Okay, come on, baby, have your favorite sausage." Chen Yuan picked up a piece of sausage for his daughter.
"Yuyou, don't just eat sausages. It's unhealthy. Come and drink some soup. Mom's soup is delicious." Wang Yan said dissatisfied.
"Mom, I don't like soup, I want to eat sausage." Youyou said with a pout.
"If you eat sausages, you can also drink some soup, honey." Chen Yuan coaxed.
"Okay." Youyou compromised.
Wang Yan looked at the father and daughter and said helplessly: "Just get used to it."
"By the way, how is that girl in your company doing? When do you plan to marry Wang Bo?" Wang Yan asked, changing the subject.
"How's it going? I'm still at work today." Chen Yuan said while eating.
"You didn't ask?"
"How do you want me to ask this? People have to think carefully about life-long decisions. I think it would be uneasy to agree rashly." Chen Yuan replied.
"I asked you if you could be more considerate about your brother-in-law. I think that girl is nice, has a good heart, and is simple. It's hard to find such a simple girl nowadays. Don't let a good marriage get dirty." Wang Yan said anxiously.
"The girl is nice, but it's useless for us to be anxious. Wang Bo needs to be anxious to be anxious. Oh, don't worry so much. I'll help you find out what's going on some other time." Chen Yuandao said.
"Okay, hey, why don't you go back to your original company? Do you still care about that matter? How long has it been?" Wang Yan asked tentatively. That matter has always been a thorn in the side between her and Chen Yuan. , popping up from time to time to remind her, she always felt uneasy.
"You don't understand what's going on here. Just relax and don't think too much. You don't have to persuade me, I won't go back." Chen Yuan still understood his wife and advised her.
"Hey." Wang Yan sighed.

Yue Qing was also eating. The three girls were sitting at the same table, talking and laughing while eating. While chatting nonchalantly, Mi Xiaoyue said that Huang Yan had attended a blind date party earlier and happened to meet a young auxiliary police officer. The boy was quite humorous.
Upon hearing this, Yue Qing only found it amusing that Huang Yan had such an experience, so she asked her if she was successful. Huang Yan was there to lecture Mi Xiaoyue, telling Sister Yueqing everything, and also said that the two of them talked for a while but it didn't work out.
Huang Yan is tall and thin, with very neat white teeth. Although she is not very beautiful, she is good at dressing up and has a good figure. I wonder what kind of young man can marry her. Yue Qing looked at Huang Yan with a smile, making Huang Yan feel embarrassed.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Huang Yan asked with a smile.
Yue Qing smiled and didn't answer, but Mi Xiaoyue answered: "I see you look good." Yue Qing smiled even harder.
"By the way, Sister Yueqing, my sister wants to come and stay for a few days next week. She wants to come and play with me for a few days." Mi Xiaoyue asked me.
"Okay, I happen to be under a lot of pressure to study. If I relax for a few days and change my mood, I will learn faster." I said.
"Isn't the landlord unwilling? Didn't he say he wouldn't let anyone else come in?" Mi Xiaoyue said worriedly.
"What the hell, that's too much. It's not like you're renting a house with someone else. It's just your sister coming to stay for a few days. That doesn't matter." Huang Yan answered.
"That's right, the landlord won't say anything." I followed suit.
"Okay, if the landlord talks about me then, Sister Yueqing can help me speak. I think it's more useful for you to speak in front of the landlord than us." Mi Xiaoyue said
"That's for sure. Sister Yueqing seems to be more sensible at first glance." Huang Yan immediately praised.
Yue Qing smiled and said, "It's okay, he won't say anything. If he talks about you, I'll explain it to you."
"Okay, then I'll ask my sister to come over next week, and I'll buy more food then." Mi Xiaoyue said quickly.
"How much can she eat? You don't need to buy too much. There are quite a lot of vegetables at home, and the eggs are a bit long." Yue Qing said to Mi Xiaoyue. "When your sister comes, I will spread out some pancakes for you, add more eggs, and finish them quickly. If we cook in the past two days, we should also eat more."
"Yeah." Huang Yan answered.
The three girls chatted while eating. They had gotten along well since they started renting the house, and the atmosphere in the air made people feel very comfortable.
